#SwedishPainters #MaryGRUT (1876-1958), “#Raageleje” (1929), oil on canvas, 35.5×40.5 cm, showing at Bruun-Rasmussen's, #Aarhus (#DK), till #25Oct2021.
There's something exquisitely soft about #MaryGRUT's style- a dreaminess, something protective & innocent. Love her work.
Demuth’s botanical watercolours are some of the finest of the twentieth century. Red Poppies (1929), Pears (1929), Distinguished Air (1930) & Chimney & Water Tower (1931). The sailors are looking at a sculpture of Princess X by Brâncusi
Her image of women is startlingly modern - it could be from the 1980s! Yet the Still Life might be 1950s. Both works show her as a woman decades more advanced than the zeitgeist. Amazing! Women (1928), Still-Life (1929), Mirage (1930) & Abstract (1930)

By focusing attention, observation, and extensive thought on astronomical phenomena, one is able to prove the unicity of God and to recognize the extent of the Creator’s might as well as His wide wisdom and delicate design.

I was really into it while the anime was airing, and it was full to the brim with fanservice and the craziest crack I've ever seen in shounen.
BTS members mentioned that anime in the latest Run BTS episode (129), and I paused and SCREAMED because OMG YOU TOO?! https://t.co/VwUE4wmcBn
